  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
  • ½ teaspoon ground ancho chiles *
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions

  2. Stir ½ tablespoon melted butter, honey, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, ground chiles, cumin, cinnamon, and pinch of cayenne pepper in small bowl to blend.
  3. Season to taste with salt. Let glaze stand at least 15-30 minutes to allow flavors to blend.

  5. Spread parsnips, turnips, and rutabagas evenly on prepared baking sheet. Drizzle remaining 1½ tablespoons melted butter and oil over; sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to coat well.
  6. Roast for 40-50 minutes, until vegetables are tender and slightly browned.
  7. Pour glaze over vegetables; toss to coat evenly. Roast until glaze is absorbed and vegetables are browned, tossing occasionally, about 15 minutes longer.
